COMMERCIAL SERVICES / CONSULTING + OPERATIONS

Give every savings claim a defensible basis.

Several teams can report the same benefit, while volume and price changes move the baseline underneath them. We build a consistent method for recognizing and tracking improvement value.

01 / WHAT THE PRODUCT DELIVERS

Cost Savings Validation + Benefits Tracking

Create a defensible process for tracking improvement benefits.

  • 01

    A benefits definition and recognition policy draft

  • 02

    A normalized baseline and evidence checklist

  • 03

    A benefit identity and overlap-control register

  • 04

    A finance review and tracking framework

02 / THE WORKING METHOD

Built to create
a useful change.

A benefit lineage record links each claim to the cost driver it changes and flags shared expenses before two initiatives can count the same value.

01 / AGREE THE RECOGNITION RULES

Agree the recognition rules

Define eligible benefit types, finance owners, baseline periods, normalization factors, and when a benefit can be recognized.

02 / TRACE THE EVIDENCE

Trace the evidence

Connect each initiative to cost records, operational drivers, implementation dates, and any overlapping programs.

03 / BUILD THE BENEFITS CADENCE

Build the benefits cadence

Create the review register, approval steps, and exception rules for realized, forecast, capacity, and avoidance benefits.

03 / SCOPE BEFORE PRICE

Three levels.
One clearly defined brief.

The rate-card scope factors are shown below. Client complexity is applied separately.

Focused / ×1

Focused scope

One project validating one savings program or initiative family with a defined finance owner.

Expanded / ×1.8

Expanded scope

One project covering several initiatives and cost owners with a shared benefits register and review method.

Complex / ×3.2

Complex scope

One project establishing portfolio-wide benefits governance across sites, functions, or reporting systems.

04 / TUNE THE BRIEF

See how the scope
changes the investment.

A planning range using the same rate card as the full DOC N.I.L. calculator.

Client complexity and scope are separate factors. The written proposal confirms the level that matches your brief.

05 / THE ACCEPTANCE GATE

Know what good
looks like.

Monitor the share of claims with finance-approved baselines, complete evidence, and unambiguous benefit ownership; track verified value separately from forecast.

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION / NOT A CLIENT RESULT

Illustrative engagement

A transformation office reconciles two overlapping labor-efficiency claims and records capacity released separately from payroll expense reduced.

06 / PRICE GUARDS

Protect the scope.
Protect the result.

Outside this product unless agreed.

  • Independent statutory assurance or accounting opinion
  • Counting cost avoidance as realized cash savings
  • Accepting an initiative forecast as a verified result

No hidden expansion.

The proposal confirms quantities, review rounds, locations, versions, and the service period. Additional work receives a written change scope before it starts.

8% G&A is additional. Third-party costs and applicable tax are confirmed separately. Estimates are planning ranges, not a booking or a guarantee of results.

Before we begin.

Is this the same as finding new savings?

No. This service validates and governs benefits. Opportunity identification belongs in a cost savings consulting engagement.

Can you confirm savings without finance access?

The scope can review claim quality, but formal recognition needs the agreed finance evidence and approving owner. Missing evidence stays visible.

07 / CONNECTED PRODUCTS
